Tessellation growth models for polycrystalline microstructures

K. Teferra and L. Graham-Brady. Computational Materials Science, Vol. 102, pages 57-67 (2015). 

This article co-authored by Kirubel Teferra and Lori Graham-Brady, proposed novel models to represent and parametrize random morphology of polycrystalline microstructures.

Highlights:-

  • Quantitatively evaluates a tessellation model’s ability to represent polycrystalline morphology.
  • Introduces a reliable forward model for polycrystalline morphology.
  • Simulates statistically equivalent polycrystalline microstructures using marked point process.
